I have been commenting on how "March Madness" rankles me for the last two years. I knew from the get-go that I wasn't about to turn people away from the spectacle of sports nor office pools. Unlike curmudgeons, the huddled masses are victims of these weaknesses.
As all faithful readers know, I was simply pleading my standard case: "there's a time and a place for everything." In this case, I don't particularly give a fig about the timing, but I clearly underestimated place: the draw of sporting event ratings was too strong for some stations seeking them and their ads, and normal programming was interrupted left and right.
This year, I got the last laugh: with so much good stuff on alternative viewing sources such as Netflix and Amazon Prime, I no longer miss my Matlock repeats. Hah! I showed them!
